Mostly a tale of the struggle for prohibition, which is achieved through a referendum. The last chapter (93-100) describes the eutopia that was produced. Violent crime virtually disappeared, as did most other crimes. Family life improved radically, earnings previously spent on drink provided better conditions for families and was also invested in cooperatives.
